Domo Workspace API (Reverse-Engineered)

CLI vs API: The Java CLI has no workspace commands. All workspace operations require the REST API via curl.

Status: Undocumented / reverse-engineered as of March 2026 Base URL: https://<instance>.domo.com Auth: X-DOMO-Developer-Token header

Overview

Workspaces in Domo are organizational containers that group related content -- cards, pages, datasets, apps, and other assets -- into a single navigable collection. The Workspace API is not publicly documented by Domo. These endpoints were reverse-engineered from the Domo web client and verified through testing.

Supported operations:

• Add content (cards, pages, datasets) to a workspace
• Remove content from a workspace
• List all contents of a workspace
• Search within a workspace for specific content

Endpoints

1. Add Content to Workspace (Recommended)

Adds a single content item to a workspace. This is the confirmed working endpoint.

Request Body:

{
  "entityId": "728638278",
  "entityType": "CARD"
}

Response (success):

{
  "id": 6,
  "entityType": "CARD",
  "entityId": "728638278",
  "addedAt": "2026-03-04 16:37:52",
  "addedBy": 149955692
}

Supported entityType values: CARD, PAGE, DATASET, DATA_APP, WORKSPACE_URL

Verified: This endpoint was tested by adding 22 cards to a workspace in March 2026. All 22 succeeded.

1b. Add Content to Workspace (Bulk - UNRELIABLE)

The bulk endpoint exists but returned 400 Bad Request in testing across all format variations. Use the single-item endpoint above instead.

Request Body (documented but unreliable):

{
  "operations": [
    {
      "operation": "ADD",
      "workspace": "99bf62b4-21f8-474b-985b-9bb83c773998",
      "contents": [
        {
          "id": "CARD_OR_CONTENT_ID",
          "type": "CARD"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

WARNING: This endpoint returned 400 errors in March 2026 testing regardless of id/entityId format, string/number types, or content type values (CARD, card, KPI_CARD). The single-item /contents endpoint is the reliable alternative.

2. Remove Content from Workspace

Removes content from a workspace without deleting it from Domo. Use the content's workspace-internal id (the numeric ID returned when adding, or from listing workspace contents), NOT the card/dataset ID.

Where :contentId is the workspace-internal numeric ID (the id field from list/add responses).

Alternative (bulk endpoint - may be unreliable, see note on Section 1b):

{
  "operations": [
    {
      "operation": "REMOVE",
      "workspace": "99bf62b4-21f8-474b-985b-9bb83c773998",
      "contents": [
        {
          "id": "CARD_OR_CONTENT_ID",
          "type": "CARD"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

3. List Workspace Contents

Returns all content objects in a workspace with optional detail.

Path Parameters:

• :guid -- The workspace GUID (e.g., 99bf62b4-21f8-474b-985b-9bb83c773998)

Query Parameters:

• includeDetails (boolean) -- When true, returns full metadata for each content item

Response structure:

{
  "current": null,
  "pins": [],
  "sorts": [],
  "folders": [],
  "contents": [
    {
      "id": 6,
      "entityType": "CARD",
      "entityId": "728638278",
      "addedAt": "2026-03-04 16:37:52",
      "addedBy": 149955692,
      "attributes": {
        "entityType": "card",
        "databaseId": "728638278",
        "winnerText": "Revenue by Department",
        ...
      }
    }
  ]
}

Key fields per content item:

• id -- Workspace-internal numeric ID (use for remove operations)
• entityType -- CARD, DATA_APP, WORKSPACE_URL, etc.
• entityId -- The Domo entity ID (card ID, dataset ID, etc.)
• attributes.winnerText -- The display name/title

3b. List All Workspaces

Returns all workspaces the authenticated user has access to.

Response structure:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "guid": "579394f2-5ec2-4152-b2b7-7e2c6c7a1305",
      "name": "Claude",
      "createdAt": "2026-03-04 16:31:32",
      "createdBy": 149955692,
      "icon": "ai",
      "iconColor": "#e4715d",
      "members": [...],
      "contents": [],
      "folders": []
    }
  ]
}

4. Search Workspace Contents

Searches within a workspace for content matching a query.

Path Parameters:

• :guid -- The workspace GUID

Example:

POST /nav/v1/workspaces/99bf62b4-21f8-474b-985b-9bb83c773998/addContentQuery

Authentication

All requests require a Domo Developer Token passed as a header:

X-DOMO-Developer-Token: your_token_here

Generate a token from Admin > Security > Access Tokens in the Domo UI.
